My wife and I have driven past this museum for the past 3 years we have lived in the area and today we finally decided to visit. We were able to quickly buy tickets and enter the gallery. It was amazing how much historic memorabilia they have on display. The museum is separated with the North on the left and South on the right. Some of the highlights are a cigar smoked by US Grant and a pocket knife owned by General Lee. There are detailed explanations for every artifact and it was very informative. Even my wife, who is not a huge history buff had a great time. The end of the museum contains a gallery of historic dresses that could be their own museum. We were only there of about an hour, but could have spent much more time there. It is definitely worth taking the time to visit.
